premiere: Valentina – “Ladders”

Apr 3, 10:00am Gorilla Vs. Bear

" Ladders " is the gorgeously billowing, dreamlike new single from English/Italian pop artist Valentina , who's probably still best known for her perfect collaboration with Hot Chip's Joe Goddard . That's bound to change soon though, as this one's every bit as enchanting as her stunning debut single " Wolves " (and its accompanying visuals ); both tracks can be found on Valentina's forthcoming Kwes-produced Wolves EP, out April 18 via Greco-Roman .

video: Bleached – “Dazed”

Apr 2, 5:20pm Gorilla Vs. Bear

And finally we wanna end with the first video we made for the B side song " Dazed " on our first 7inch. It's crazy and awesome to see how far Jess and I have come since then. We made this video when we didn't even know how serious we wanted to take Bleached. We were trying to go for the feel of the Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick video we posted above. Hope you enjoy and thanks for sharing your day and our release day with us! xoxo - Bleached [ check all of [...]

This is a really cool clip of Edie Sedgwick dancing with some other people from Andy Warhol's factory. The music added is 13th floor elevators which is an awesome band! It's fun to watch this video noticing everyone's part in it. Theres the guy in the back sleeping, the dude with the sunglasses walking around and the crazy dancers... It's really fun! - Bleached

for whom the bell tolls (1985)

Apr 2, 3:40pm Gorilla Vs. Bear

Live footage of Metallica with Cliff Burton 1985 playing For "Whom The Bell Tolls!" Cliff was such a rad bass player, and he is wearing a misfits shirt in this footage! Thats how cool he was. We love listening to Metallica on tour during drives or when we dj them at a local LA bars... RIP Cliff. - Bleached [ check all of Bleached's takeover posts here ]

video: Blondie – “In the Flesh”

Apr 2, 2:11pm Gorilla Vs. Bear

I, Jennifer, am kinda obsessed with Blondie and this video is the best. This is one of the first videos I discovered when YouTube became a thing. The multiple TV's in the beginning is such a classic punk shot. And the part where it looks like Debbie Harry singing through the tv is genius. And on top of just the intro this song rules and they all look so awesome. I like when Debbie Harry takes her hat off and you can tell her hair was just bleached. - Bleached [ check all of [...]

night of the comet

Apr 2, 1:05pm Gorilla Vs. Bear

Night of the Comet is a b horror film made in 1984, it's about a comet that hits the earth wiping everyone out, but leaving 2 sisters from the San Fernando valley to try and survive amongst flesh eating zombies. I love any film based in the Valley since that is where Jen and I grew up, also there are some really cool shots of downtown la totally empty! There's this one scene where the 2 sisters end up at this abandoned radio station in downtown la and totally looks and feels like where we [...]

Bleached polaroids

Apr 2, 12:11pm Gorilla Vs. Bear

These are some polaroids my friend took of us recording part of the record at Comp-ny studio in Burbank. Rob, who produced it, is the one sitting in between us. This studio was awesome and had really good vibes. And this was our shrine! A pumpkin for October, a Himalayan salt crystal for good luck, some crystals, a gold skull that I have just always been obsessed with, a spider for halloween, and a candle for some good ambience. I was really into our shrine. - Bleached

premiere: Young Galaxy – “New Summer”

Mar 27, 9:08am Gorilla Vs. Bear

I know I keep using words like " lofty " and " anthemic " and " timeless " when describing how great all of these new Young Galaxy songs are, but the band's latest single is all of those things and more, thanks to a flawless, uplifting, universal chorus that makes " New Summer " one of our favorite things they've ever done. Ultramarine is out April 23 .
